La Camargue

There is a beautiful wetland just west of Marseilles called The Camargue (Plaine de la Camargue). You can find salt marshes, lakes, pastures, and sand dunes covering a vast 346,000 acres. I love this area and have been twice not only to see the landscape but to see the wild life. There are a number of beautiful WHITE horses, bulls, birds and Flamingos.

The reason for our second trip was to see the Flamingos. My friend Aiperi and her friend Aynur wanted to go and see the Flamingos while they were here to breed. So, we piled in the car and drove about two hours to check them out.

Here are some pictures from the day.
